Overview

rduino is an open-source electronics prototyping platform based on flexible, easy-to-use hardware and software. It's intended for artists, designers, hobbyists and anyone interested in creating interactive objects or environments.

Arduino can sense the environment by receiving input from a variety of sensors and can affect its surroundings by controlling lights, motors, and other actuators.

The Arduino Duemilanove automatically draws power from either the USB connection to the computer or an external power supply. Connect the Arduino board to your computer using the USB cable. The green power LED (labeled PWR) should go on.

Installing the drivers

Extract the Arduino distribution provided in the support CD to any preferred location in your computer. Users can use 7-zip (opensource software) or WinRar (Shareware software) for extraction.
This section explains how to install driver for your Arduino Duemilanove

When you connect the board, Windows should initiate the driver installation process (if you haven't used the computer with an Arduino board before).

On Windows Vista or 7, the driver should be automatically downloaded and installed. (Really, it works!) On Windows XP, the Add New Hardware wizard will open:

When asked Can Windows connect to Windows Update to search for software? select No, not this time. Click next. Select Install from a list or specified location (Advanced) and click next. Make sure that Search for the best driver in these locations is checked; uncheck Search removable media; check Include this location in the search and browse to the drivers/FTDI USB Drivers directory of the
2

Arduino distribution extracted from the support CD. (The latest version of the drivers can be found on the FTDI website.) Click next.

The wizard will search for the driver and then tell you that a "USB Serial Converter" was found. Click finish. The new hardware wizard will appear again. Go through the same steps and select the same options and location to search. This time, a "USB Serial Port" will be found.

You can check that the drivers have been installed by opening the Windows Device Manager (in the Hardware tab of System control panel). Look for a "USB Serial Port" in the Ports section; that's the Arduino board.

Running your first Program

This section explains how to load a program into the board.

Open Arduino IDE by double-clicking the arduino.exe from the extracted folder described here.

Open the LED blink example sketch: File > Examples > 01.Basics > Blink.

You'll need to select the entry in the Tools > Board menu that corresponds to your Arduino.

Select the serial device of the Arduino board from the Tools | Serial Port menu. This is likely to be COM3 or higher (COM1 and COM2 are usually reserved for hardware serial ports). To find out, you can disconnect your Arduino board and re-open the menu; the entry that disappears should be the Arduino board. Reconnect the board and select that serial port.

Now, simply click the "Upload" button in the environment. Wait a few seconds - you should see the RX and TX leds on the board flashing. If the upload is successful, the message "Done uploading." will appear in the status bar.

If you have problems, please see the troubleshooting suggestions in the Arduino website.
